Disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo went out of the office with a bang on Monday, when he granted clemency to David Gilbert, a convicted murderer and member of the terrorist organization Weather Underground.
Gilbert was one of six people who were granted clemency prior to his Aug. 24 effective resignation date. He was convicted of three counts of second-degree murder and four counts of first-degree robbery for stealing $1.6 million from an armored truck in 1981, which led to the deaths of a security guard and two police officers.
In a statement, Cuomo said Gilbert served 40 years of his 75-to-life sentence, “related to an incident in which he was a driver, not the murderer,” and is the only individual involved in the robbery that remains in prison.
Gilbert is described as someone who made “significant contributions to AIDS education and prevention programs” during his incarceration. “He has also worked as a student tutor, law library clerk, paralegal assistant, a teacher’s aide, and an aide for various additional facility programs,” the Twitter statement read.
Cuomo also gave his farewell address on Monday, and continued to deny the allegations of sexual harassment that led to his political demise.
“There will be another time to talk about the truth and ethics of the recent situation involving me, but let me say now that, when government politicizes allegations and the headlines condemn without facts, you undermine the justice system — and that doesn’t serve women and it doesn’t serve men or society,” Cuomo said.
“Of course, everyone has a right to come forward, and we applaud their bravery and courage in doing so, but allegations must still be scrutinized and verified whether made by a woman or a man,” he went on. “That is our basic justice system.”
He accused Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation against him as “designed to be a political firecracker on an explosive topic,” and concluded that it worked. “There was a political and media stampede. But the truth will out in time — of that, I am confident.”
Karma is beautiful. That’s what you deserve you p.o.s.
Cuomo Says; “when government politicizes allegations and the headlines condemn without facts, you undermine the justice system — and that doesn’t serve women and it doesn’t serve men or society,”
Cuomo forgot to add – unless the target is Trump)
Or a Republican appointed supreme court justice
Those allegations were born out of hard feelings, and went nowhere, because there was no foundation for them! So shove your bitterness toward the Republican’s up your ass and focus on the lies of the current administration!!!
Exactly.
IF you are referring to the sexual allegations against Trump during the 2916 Presidential Campaigns, THEY WERE ALL PROVEN TO BE LIES STARTED BY DEMOCRATS TRYING TO UNDERMINE HIS CAMPAIGN SO DROP IT ALREADY!!!
MD,
My thoughts exactly, you are right on
Thank God idiotCuomo is gone now get rid of the midterm JoecBide
god will continue to bless his puppet cuomo in some higher political position .
You really dont understand God at all do you? Just remember God is not mocked!
He IS now qualified for the Democrat Presidential nomination!
Please get rid of murderer Joe Biden . Thank God the murderer Cuomo is gone
Cuomo might be needing his help to be the “driver” when he is ready to pounce back at those that forced his resignation.
There is now a murderer who owes Handsy Andy a favor.
Al Capone was put away for tax evasion, not murder. Cuomo was brought down by dishonoring women, not deliberately putting sick old people back in government nursing homes to save money by killing them off.
The worst part is that what Cuomo did to the old people was perfectly legal under New York law.
Dont forget how he glamourized the murder of full term babies and even lit up buildings in New York with his staff and himself all grinning from ear to ear.
truth about you murding old people… that truth?
Gods Divine Justice never fails. Still arrogant to the end! Sad.
The Cuomo mantra: Criminalize law abiding gun owners and allow violent murderers to go free.
Change the name of the Cuomo Bridge, SIGN THE PETITION
You still criminal charge Cuomo for his actions that caused him to resign. At least get that on record an documented. Do not sweep this under the rug.
DEMOCRATS ABUSE OF POWER, GREED, CORRUPTION, WHAT CAN YOU SAY?
Oh Filthy Cuomo, we aren’t done with you yet. You think you are free, but there are a dozen women with 12 sworn statements against you for your tricks, the same type of tricks your buddy Joey the feeler Biden has done. And you are accused of murdering over 10,000 retired American citizens because of your order to return the ill Covid 19 retired from hospitals, back to their rest home, to infect all their friends and patients. Also, you trained at least 3 other state Governors to do the same to their states rest home residence? The STATES in question are Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Ir there are any balls out there, the three states mentioned , should start the impeachment of their governors also ????????????
In the Democrat political mind, right is wrong, wrong is Right, truth is lies, and lies are truth, and evil is good, good is Evil. There is no guilt you see!!!!
